For Alyssa Schultz, thisyear’s House Walk was thefirst of what might becomea tradition, as she made her

way into the house with hergrandmother, Carol Adair ofMorris.

“I came with my grandmato look at Christmas decora-tions,” she said.

The house on Primrosewasn’t their first stop. The pairhad been to the home of Janetand Dick Olson on Scott SchoolRoad north of Morris, whereSchultz found her favorite itemon the walk.

BoardmemberWelter appointed as new county chairmanBy NICK SAMUEL

[email protected]

MORRIS – Board membersapplauded Monday night as Da-vid Welter walked to his newchair as Grundy County’s newCounty Board chairman.

Welter was nominatedfor chairman at the reorgani-zational meeting held at theGrundy County Administra-tion Building.

The motion to select Welteras chairman passed with mostboard members approving themotion except for Frank Hal-pin, who abstained from voting.

Grundy County has filed alawsuit against Halpin afterWelter brought it to the coun-ty’s attention that Halpin al-legedly misappropriated fundswhen Halpin was chairman ofthe board.

Board member Eric Ras-musson was not present at thetime of the vote.

Welter, who has served onthe County Board since age 19,said he thinks it’s awesome hiscolleagues selected him to leadthe board and that his experi-ence on the board for the pastfour years has prepared him forthis position.

“After Ron Severson saidhe wasn’t coming back to theboard, I felt I would be the rightperson to lead the county forthe next two years,” said the23-year-old. “As I’ve sat on theboard, I’ve been given moreand more responsibilities overthe last four years.”

Fellow Republican Eric Ras-musson also put his name inlast month for the the top boardspot, but only Welter was nomi-nated Monday.

Welter shared laughs withboard member Vicki Geiger af-ter the reorganizational meet-

ing.Geiger said Welter has at-

tended more meetings than anyother board member.

“Anytime you elect some-one as vice-chair, you hopethey have the potential of be-coming chairman. He has donethat and proved himself,” Gei-ger said.

Welter served as vice-chair-man under Severson.

Welter said he has big plansfor the county asthe new chair-man and thatthe county hasmany projectsit’s working onand planning tostart.

Board mem-ber David Nel-son was electedby the board as

vice-chairman with most mem-bers approving the motion andMillie Dyer and Frank Halpinabstaining from the motion.

Nelson, a Republican, said itfeels good to be vice-chairmanand that he has worked hardfor the past 18 months to getelected.

“It feels good to be chosen bymy peers,” Nelson said.

The new vice-chairman said

he and Welter have a great rela-tionship.

“We’re similar in the waywe think,” Nelson said. “We’reboth committed to gettingthings done the right way andbringing in quality candidatesto the county.”

Four newcomers, as well assix incumbents were officiallysworn in as board membersjust before the special boardmeeting.

Republican Don Neush-wander Jr. joins incumbentsRepublican Millie Dyer andDemocrat Ken Iverson in Dis-trict 1 and Republican KerriCourtright joins fellow Repub-licans and incumbents DebraWarning and David Nelson inDistrict 2.

Republican Debra Kinsellaran uncontested in the Novem-ber election for a vacant seat inDistrict 2 and also was sworn inMonday.

Mike Onorato, a Democrat,joins fellow Democrat incum-bent Richard Joyce and Repub-lican incumbent Doug Boresi.

Board members also ap-proved to shorten the numberof committees from 14 to 11.The Facilities Committee hasbeen combined with the Lawand Justice Committee, the

Education Committee has beencombined with the Health Com-mittee and the Land Use Com-mittee has been combined withthe Environmental Committee.

The Tax Committee hasbeen combined with the newlyformed Economic DevelopmentCommittee and the Rules and

Community Relations commit-tees have been omitted from thecounty board’s committees.

HouseWalk Tea shows off church’s new designBy JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent

MORRIS – The Home for theHolidays House Walk Tea onSaturday in Morris was a timeof repose for those who touredthe five decorated homes on thisyear’s walk.

It was hosted by the LivingWater Church of the Nazarenein its downtown church thatwas formerly the Morris Mov-ie Theater on Jefferson Street.But, the effort couldn’t havebeen achieved if it weren’t forvolunteers from throughout thecommunity, said tea organizerand church member Kelly Val-entine.

“We have a smaller congre-gation,” Valentine said, “andthere have been a lot of peoplepitching in to help us. ... I havefriends from other churcheswho have stepped in and helped,and the Morris High Schoolcheerleaders are helping, too.”

Valentine said others in

the community helped churchmembers bake some of the morethan 5,000 cookies consumed atthe tea, helped decorate andprovided constant entertain-ment on the stage of the wor-ship center.

Brent Mitchell, ImmaculateConception Church Youth Min-

ister and ICS music teacher,played the keyboard. His wife,Michelle, sang to his accom-paniment. Students of Bran-dolino School of Music playedand sang, as did students of JillKopczick. Rev. Roy Backus andTammy Betzel also providedmusic.

“It’s awesome how wonder-fully the music community hascome together for this,” PastorSteven Cook of Living WaterChurch of the Nazarene said.

He said he only realizedwhat a big deal the House Walkand Tea were when membersof the Morris Downtown De-velopment Partnership toldhim more than 1,000 ticketswere usually sold for the event.He knew his church could doit, though, with the help of itsfriends and neighbors.

“It’s been a multi-faith af-fair,” he said. “We’re havingsuch a great time having peopleinside the building.”

The church just finished a

major renovation of the movietheater interior with new bath-rooms and kitchen the last tobe completed. The ticket boothrecently was removed and newfront doors installed. Much ofthe original foyer is still intact,and the outside marquee waskept and made more eye-pleas-

ing.Shirley Darin, of Morris,

used to work at the theaterwhen she was in high school.

“I used to go through theback door and get the oil tomake the popcorn,” she said.“This is awesome. What a dif-ference.”

Jeanne Millsap for Shaw Media

Attendees enjoyed the refresh-ments Saturday at the Home forthe Holidays House Walk Tea,which included an assortmentof more than 5,000 home-bakedcookies.

Living nativity brings story of Jesus’ birth to lifeBy HEIDI LITCHFIELD

[email protected]

MORRIS – Gabi Born ofMorris participates in FirstPresbyterian Church’s annualChristmas celebration by play-ing a part in the live nativityscene in front of the churcheach December.

This year, she played a shep-herd in the “Living Nativity.”

“I enjoy being part of tellingthe story,” Born said. “It’s agreat kick off to the Christmasseason, and it gets you in thespirit.”

Pastor Jeri Baker said thechurch changed this year’s cel-ebration from a live nativityto a living nativity because itwants to focus on the story andbring those who come into it.

“It’s a way to bless othersin the holiday season,” Bakersaid. “The living nativity is awonderful gift of the season.”

Actors portrayed all theimportant people from Jesus’birth. As Joseph and Mary en-tered the manger, shepherdstending a flock of live animalsheard from the angels to goforth to meet Jesus. The threewise men rode in on live horsesfrom the parking lot, bearinggifts.

After onlookers watched thescene unfold, they were invitedto come into the manger to be-

come part of the nativity andhave their picture taken withMary, Joseph and baby Jesus.

Guests were then invitedin the church for cookies andhot cocoa while children got tomake Advent wreaths.

“It reminds you of when

Mary and Joseph had a baby,”Ryker Anderson said as he puthis wreath together. “The baby

was Jesus.”Scott Woods stood beside

his son, Foster, who also

worked on a wreath. He saidhis daughter was participatingin the play, helping with theanimals.

“Working with the animalsteaches her responsibility,”he said. “It also teaches themabout Jesus and what Christ-mas is all about.”

The Rev. Roy Backus saidthe congregation believes thechurch is a gift to the commu-nity. The building is there forthe community, so it’s naturalto host an event for people ofall faiths to celebrate the birthof Jesus.

“We celebrate who we arebecause of Jesus Christ,” Back-us said. “We want to tell thestory that can tie our lives to-gether in a deeper way.”

He said communal activi-ties such as the living nativitybring people closer, and that isone of the goals of the outreachgroup that hosts the event an-nually.

He said the change fromthe live nativity scene, wherepeople have a passive role, tothe one where they participate,better teaches them and helpsthem remember the story of Je-sus’ birth.


Children from First Presbyterian Church in Morris dress up as shepherds watching over the live animals aspart of the living nativity scene.

filled with items found at themany auctions held by the own-er.

Katie Thetard said her favor-ite home on the walk belongedto Anne and Dennie Long onMain Street in Morris.

“I love the style of the house,and that everything is origi-nal,” she said.

Lorene Hutchings, who waswith Thetard, said the deco-rating done at the Main Streethome stuck out to her.

“It’s just a beautiful home,”she said.

Anne Long greeted guestsinside her home and said shewas excited to participate in theHouse Walk.

“We moved in in Novem-ber 2013 and when they calledand asked, we thought this wasthe perfect incentive to get ev-erything done,” she said. “Wemet our goal and we are able toshow that old houses are stilllivable.”

The Longs found the homeafter they started bringing theirboat down to Morris to put intothe Illinois River. They firstdiscovered downtown Morris,where they joined a wine club,and then took in the sites andfell in love with the old homeand its wraparound porch.

The interior still shows offthe original woodwork andgrandfather clock, built into thestaircase.

As guests made their wayup the stairs, they were greetedby Dennie Long, who explainedhow they found the home’s blue-prints in the attic and had themmounted and hung as artwork.

He also explained that hang-ing pictures is what taughthim that the wood trim was forhanging pictures and it runsthe length of the upstairs land-ing.

12OPINIONOUR VIEW

Giving Tuesdaya time to donate

We’ve got a great idea as to whatyou can do with the money you savedfrom all those Black Friday, SmallBusiness Saturday and Cyber Mondaydeals you likely snatched up duringthe past few days.

Give.Giving Tuesday – which is today

– falls on the Tuesday after Thanksgiv-ing and is a designated day of giving tocharity. The United Nations Foun-dation is given credit as one of theoriginators of Giving Tuesday, whichwas first held in 2012 and was createdas a global day of giving back.

In Illinois, Donors Forum is coor-dinating this initiative, and it has abold goal: $12 million raised by Illinoisnonprofits from 100,000 individualdonors – in one day.

More than 600 nonprofits in thestate have signed up with DonorsForum to take part in Giving Tuesday.You can visit its website, https://do-norsforum.org/ to find a charity youwould like to donate to.

Of course, it doesn’t have to be onthat list in order to donate. Maybethere is a local nonprofit that has pro-vided a service that benefited you, andyou’re now in a position to give back.Or maybe you want to start a new tra-dition of giving to those in need eachholiday season. Giving Tuesday can bethe day you annually bestow that gift.

Nonprofits provide much-neededservices in our communities. Fromprograms for children to providingfood and shelter to helping veterans –and everything in-between – nonprof-its are there to help some of our mostvulnerable neighbors.

Most nonprofits have been hit hardby the state’s financial woes: Theyusually wait months for money owedto them by Illinois, and often are luckyif it comes at all. And at the same time,the needs of our neighbors increase,putting even more strain on our non-profits.

The holidays should not be justabout getting, but about giving, aswell. This is a gift you don’t even needto wrap and top with a bow. You don’tneed to give a lot to make a difference.

It just needs to come from the heart.

14 2ND ANNUAL BLACK FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS ALUMNI FOOTBALL GAME: MORRIS 26, MINOOKA 12

Redskins, Indians alumni pad up to raise fundsBy RYAN WOODEN

Shaw Media Correspondent

MINOOKA – In an agewhere it’s commonplace toweigh the consequences offootball against its benefits,it can be hard to justify strap-ping on the chinstrap and put-ting your body at risk withoutcause. Yet, on Friday night onan iced over field at MinookaCommunity High School, agroup of Morris and Minookaalumni threw caution to thewind.

It was the second annualalumni game between thesetwo schools with proceedsgoing to Minooka’s AthleticBoosters, and after last year’sgame ended in a tie at 6, Morriswould emerge with a 26-12 vic-tory Friday night. However, itwas the cause that shined for asurprisingly raucous Minookacrowd.

“These are the same bleach-ers and this is the same fieldthat I played on,” Class of 1996Minooka graduate and footballchairman Neil Craig said af-ter Morris’ win. “When I washere, Minooka was a Class 4Aschool, and now, it’s an Class8A school, so these facilitiesneed updating pretty bad andthat’s what makes it all worth-while.”

As the football chairmanof the alumni game, Craig putcountless hours into organiz-ing the affair, which was agrind.

“When I started it and Isaw all the paperwork that

was going to have to be doneand all the hoops I was goingto have to jump through, I al-most stopped. Then I had twogirls [Karianne Craig andMarsha Williams] step up, andthey said, ‘We’ll do all that.’So I said all right, and withoutthem, there would have beenno way I could have done it.

“I spend 40 hours a weekjust trying to set up the fieldand then get the plays and thepad stuff going, while they gotall the school and legal stuff go-ing. There’s just so much thatgoes into this.”

As far as safety goes, ev-ery participant is required tosign a waiver that relinquish-es Minooka Community HighSchool’s liability, as well as thefact that the rules are augment-

ed to slow down the pace ofplay. There are no kickoffs orpunts, and timeouts are addedwhile quarters are shortened.

While the field is shortenedto 80 yards and hits below thewaist and to the head are il-legal, the game is still plentyphysical. However, the riskstill isn’t lost on the game’s

participants.“Before the game, you

can definitely feel it in yourstomach. It’s like, ‘Am I real-ly gonna come out here on asnow-covered field and bangheads all day?,’ “ Class of 2002Morris graduate, former Chi-cago Cubs pitcher and recentfather Billy Petrick said. “But

everybody seems to under-stand out there that we have abit more on the line now, andthe idea isn’t for us to come outhere and just kill each other.”

Petrick and former Fight-ing Illini fullback-turned-St.Louis Rams/Green Bay Pack-ers practice squad player RussWeil were a couple of the morerecognizable names on Mor-ris and Minooka’s roster. Pet-rick, a former lineman for theRedskins, played wide receiv-er and caught the go-ahead 57-yard touchdown for Morris.

Morris and Minooka run-ning backs Joe Lazier and Na-than Carroll each ran for a pairof touchdowns for their respec-tive teams.

Morris Community HighSchool has not expressed in-terest in hosting the game,although Petrick hopes thesuccess of the game will even-tually change that.

“Hopefully next year, wecan talk to whoever we need totalk to so that we can get outthere. I think it’d be a greatthing for the school and thecommunity,” he said.

BOYS BASKETBALL: MORRIS 48, COAL CITY 36

4th quarter spurt lifts Redskins past CoalersBy ROB OESTERLE

[email protected]

COAL CITY – It might havetaken a little longer than Mor-ris boys basketball coach JoeBlumberg would have wanted,but once the Redskins rampedup their defense, they pulledaway from Coal City on Satur-day night in the finale of theCoal City Turkey Tournament.Morris went on a 15-0 run tostart the fourth quarter andcame away with a 48-36 winthat moved them to 3-1 in thetournament.

“I don’t know why we havehad these sluggish starts,”Blumberg said. “It’s just asfrustrating to us coaches as itis to the players and, I am sure,the fans. We haven’t taken thefloor with a lot of urgency.

“Some of that is a lack of flowdue to a lot of substitutions anddifferent combinations of play-ers on the floor. We are still try-ing to find that group that fitswell together. Jake Jurasits dida nice job sacrificing his bodyand taking a couple of charges,and Jacob Brady made somegood decisions when he wasout there, too.

“I saw some improvementtonight, which is good, sincewe have three games and threepractices this week.”

The Redskins finished sec-ond behind undefeated Immac-ulate Conception in the tour-ney, and saw Evan Bjellandand Austin Patterson make theall-tournament team for thesecond straight year. Bjelland

had a team-high 14 points Sat-urday, and Patterson was rightbehind him with 13. Jake Walk-er scored 10, while Matt Walk-er had five, Jake Jurasits fourand Griffin Sobol two.

Coal City (1-3) led 8-4 afterthe first quarter, but Morris,which hosts Seneca tonight at7, rallied in the second to takea 21-18 lead into halftime. TheCoalers then cut the lead to 31-30 entering the fourth quarterbefore Morris went on its run.Bjelland scored a pair of bas-kets and Jake Walker addedanother for a 37-30 lead beforeCoal City called timeout with4:44 left in the game. Comingout of the timeout, Pattersonscored for Morris on a niceback-door cut before JakeWalker hit a floater in thelane. Patterson then drained a3-pointer, and Sobol scored un-derneath before Cody Krug hita 3-pointer for the Coalers’ firstpoints of the quarter with 2:18to play.

“We really buckled down ondefense in the fourth quarter,”Patterson said. “They say thatgood defense leads to offense,and we were able to get someeasy baskets off of our defense.”

Center Matt Long led CoalCity with 11 points, includinghitting a pair of 3-pointers fromthe top of the key. Ryan Horriehad seven points, while SegalArias scored six and Krug add-ed five.

“The biggest thing for ustonight was ineffectivenesson offense,” Coal City coachBrad Boresi said. “We are notmaking excuses, but the lack oftime together really showed it-self tonight. I told the kids that,starting Monday at practice, allspots are open.

“Matt Long was a brightspot tonight. We expect thatfrom him, though. He’s a bigguy, but he has lost a lot ofweight from last season and hemoves very well for his size.Plus, he has a very nice shotfrom outside, so he give us thatdimension, too.”


Morris’ Austin Patterson (left) gets a shot contested by Coal City’s Isa-iah Washington in the Redskins’ 48-36 win Saturday in the Coal CityTurkey Tournament.

“I don’t know why we have had these sluggish starts.It’s just as frustrating to us coaches as it is to the

players and, I am sure, the fans. We haven’t taken thefloor with a lot of urgency.”

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Horatio Nelson, England’s mostfamous admiral who now looks fromhis column in Trafalgar Square downWhitehall toward the Houses of Parlia-ment, said, “Something must be left tochance; nothing is sure in a sea fightbeyond all others.”

Bridge has an element of chance.Sometimes you must hope to find afavorable lie of the cards. However, ifyou can allow for a bad split, do so; younever know when the wind will blowfrom the wrong direction.

In today’s deal, South is in threeno-trump. West leads the spade queen.How should declarer continue?

South has seven top tricks: twospades, three hearts and two clubs. Hecould establish three diamond winners,but he does not have the time to workon that suit. He will lose two diamondsand three spades.

Instead, declarer must hope thathe can take four club tricks. But howshould he play that suit?

If the five missing cards are divid-ing 3-2, as they rate to do, everythingworks. But what if they are 4-1?

There is only one winningposition: East must have a singletoneight or nine. So, South should take thefirst trick with his spade ace and leadthe club 10. If West plays low, declarerruns the 10. If it loses, he needs a 3-2split. Here, though, if West does notcover the 10, South will take the trickand cruise home.

If West does cover, declarer winswith dummy’s king and plays a lowclub back to his hand.

West takes the trick with his eightand returns a spade to dummy’s king,but South plays a heart to his hand,leads a club to dummy’s seven andclaims.

Find the one chanceand go for it

BROADCAST

Dear Doctor K: I’m 68 yearsold and have been on low-dose estrogen therapy sinceI had a hysterectomy (andstarted menopause) at age 50.My doctor won’t prescribeit anymore because he saysit increases my risk of heartproblems. Is that true?

Dear Reader: The effect ofhormone therapy on theheart is a controversial area.Hormone therapy usuallyinvolves “combination thera-py,” with both estrogens (themain female hormones) andprogestins (other importantfemale hormones). Estrogenhelps reduce symptoms ofmenopause, such as hot flash-es. Progestin reduces the riskof cancer of the uterus.

In my opinion, combi-nation therapy or estrogentherapy alone probably re-

duces the risk of heart diseaseamong women entering meno-pause, and for five to 10 yearsthereafter. But then, about 10years after menopause, com-bination hormone therapybegins to increase the risk ofheart disease. So your doctorhas reason to be concerned.

How could it be thathormone therapy protectsagainst heart disease inyounger menopausal women,but increases the risk of heartdisease in older menopausalwomen? Why should agematter? It has to do with theeffect of female hormones onblood vessels.

The most common type ofheart disease is atherosclero-sis of the arteries that supplyblood to the heart. Atheroscle-rosis causes cholesterol-filled“plaques” in the walls of thearteries.

As these plaques grow,they can block the flow ofblood through the arteries.When blood flow to a part ofthe heart muscle stops, themuscle dies. That’s what hap-pens in a heart attack.

Some heart attacks arecaused by plaques that slowlygrow and finally become solarge that they shut off theblood supply to a part of theheart. However, more heartattacks are caused by smallerplaques. These plaques arenot large enough to blockblood flow very much.

But each plaque has a cap

of fibers that holds in theplaque’s pool of cholesterol. Insome plaques, called “vulner-able plaques,” inflammationinside the plaque eats awayat the fibrous cap. Suddenly,the fibers rupture, cholesterolspills into the artery, a bloodclot forms – and blood flow toa part of the heart stops.

Estrogen slows thedevelopment of plaques. Bythe time a woman reachesmenopause, her own naturalestrogen has helped pro-tect her against developingplaques. The estrogen inhormone therapy continuesto slow (but not stop) plaquedevelopment.

By 10 years after meno-pause, however, the aver-age woman has vulnerableplaques that threaten torupture.

Estrogen increases inflam-mation inside the plaques,and it causes blood to clotmore easily. So estrogen nowincreases the risk of heartattacks.

Most studies that showan increased risk of heartdisease in women of your ageinvolved the use of combina-tion hormone therapy. You’reon just estrogen, and a lowdose at that.

Still, I think the safestassumption is that you are ata somewhat increased risk.You and your doctor have tobalance the risk against anybenefits you feel you get fromestrogen.
